Evaluated by the CECALAIT and IAI reference laboratories.The IBC can be used as an alternative method to the IDF 100B:1991 and AOAC 986.33 reference methods for the rapid and accurate determination of the hygienic quality of cow, sheep, and buffalo raw milk for payment purposes.

Technical overview & principle of operationThe IBC is a fully automated instrument that uses a proprietary flow cytometer for the rapid enumeration of individual bacteria in raw milk. The practical application follows a simple general principle: the cells are stained with a fluorescent dye that inserts into the intracellular DNA followed by detection a laser induced florescence in a flow-cytometer (particle counter counter).
